COURT OF KING'S ,LUNCH, DEC. 24. BOYDELL V. DRUMMOND. The A.TrORNEY-GENERAL opened this case by Observing, that perhaps there was nothing that had contributed to raise the State in which .we lived - to the degree of eminence in which it now stood, as • the liberal encouragement which had been given by those in the most elevated stations in Society; to those whose genius, industry, and skill, marked them out as objeas of attention ; whose labours thereby became most useful, as well as. most con spicuous. Tnis the Gentlemen of the Jury knew to be the case in those large mercantile transactions in which they were en ;aged; for they knew, by experi r e ence, it was impossible for them to carryon any great _concern without the aid of others ; and those, too, men of talents and skill in the branch in which they were employed ; and.their exertionscould never be obtained without liberal encouragement by amele remuneration ; and experience chewed us daily the beneficial elfea of that remuneration, when made to those whose genius, industry, and skill, adapted them to the purposes of the improvement of that` branch of business on which they were engaged.' These effeets were visible in the thriving state of our arts and sciences, our trade and commerce, our rpa nufaaures and mechanics, in almost every thing that_surrounded us, of which this mighty capital most strikingly abounded in proofs. The Jury would excuse him for msking .these few rematks, because they grew out of the case which he was about to lay before them. The aelion was brought by Josiah Boydell; Esquire, late partner, and now worthy representative of the late Mr. Alderman Boydell, to• whom the art of engraving owed so much of its present eminence in this country. . For merly, that branch of the Fine Arts was at rs very low ebb in this country, there being very little emi nence among us of historical painting, whence the art of engraving arose ; but by the gcniu4 of the late Alderman Boydell, from his spirit and exertion, from - his taste and judgment, from. his liberality end AUU— nificence, there was brought together as it were at once, whatever there was of genius in this coun try in the science of engra% ing, by which that branch of the Fine Arts 'became a subject of great national advantage .; ti,r, until then, ail we had of fine engraving was itneorted here frem other coun tries. But by she exertions of Mr. Alder Man Boy dell; this country became an exporting instead of an importing country in the yvorks of taste and historical engravings. This distinguished 'peitOn knew there was not wanting genius in this could ry •in the art of engraving any more than in any other -art, and it wanting nothing but encouragement to bring it into salon ; and by that encouragement he accomplished to a great degree his purpose. And he was one of those valuable men to whom society owes the most, who enrich themselves by enriching others, and whose labours are at once a profit and an honour to the country that gave them birth. In fUrtherance of this.obje6t, it occurred to Mr. Alder man Boydell, that nothing could so effeaually an an swer the purpose he had in view, as that of illustrat ing by prints the enchanting text of our immortal Poet. It was almost needles to add, that this was Shakspeare. For this purpose he entered upon a' plan with Mr. George Nicol, the King's Bookseller,' to produce a splendid edition of the plays of our Poet; the letter-press to be under the direaion of Mr. Nicol, and prints _illustrative of the _various texts from that work were to be produced under the superintendence of Mr. Alderman Boyden, and the undertaking was agreed upon ; but as it required al most an immense capital, as well as prodigious la bour; it could only be undertaken by subscription, it being necessary to raise 40,0001. in the first in stance. A prospe&tus was therefore published, and a subscription opened in the year i'Ssfi, by Which they proposed to bring out this splendid work in numbers; and in which the subscribers were to have seventy-two plates of engravings illustrative of the most interesting scenes in the Plays of Shakspeare; the subscribers to have ,their plates preciSely in the order in which they entered their names in the list" et subscribers, so that priority of subscription should secure superiority of impression. This rule was Observed rigidly. There were to be 150-copies first taken off by the way of proofs, and the:rest, came in their order. The proofs were all subscribed for within six weeks. after the subscription was opened.
